So You Want to Be the Boss?

A Step-by-Step Guide to Hiring Your First Employee

Your “solopreneur” business has taken off, and you’ve achieved your dream of being your own boss. Congratulations! But now are you ready to be someone else’s boss?

Most self-employed entrepreneurs reach a point when, even with the help of freelancers or outside contractors, they have more business than they can handle. At this stage, the only way to keep growing—and growing more profitable—is to hire employees.

The hiring process can be complex, and we want to help simplify it for you – so you can get it right the first time.

This e-book sponsored by ComplyRight will help you determine whether you are truly ready to hire and will walk you through every step, from recruiting and interviewing to complying with tax and employment laws.
